Baseboard cleaning or repair

New homeowner. How can I properly address these baseboards in the main bathroom? Not sure how to tell if this is grime or moisture damage. Is there a way to find out without removing the entire baseboards to check? The bottom of the baseboards are not caulked, and I want to address the issue before “sealing in” the issue to fester. Is a moisture meter here relevant? Or would caulking be a good first step regardless? submitted by /u/-JestPlayin [link] [comments]
